What is hcg?

You have all seen me writing about
weight loss and hcg recently. Well, what is hcg exactly? HCG, or
human chorionic gonadotropin (I think I'll stick to the initials), is
a hormone. It is produced by the placenta during pregnancy. That
seems simple enough however, some cancerous tumors produce this
hormone as well although no one seems to be certain why. The
important thing to remember is that as of December 2011 the sell of
hcg diet products is illegal and unsafe. Please stay away from
products containing hcg as you start your diet this year! There are
too many ways to safely loose weight to risk using products that
aren't.
